How to screenshot your iPhone

Screenshots from your iPhone are great for sharing moments from your favorite videos, high scores from your games, conversations on social networks like Twitter or Facebook, bugs you want to report, and almost anything and everything you see on your screen. And even if the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have moved the sleep/wake button to a new location, it's still as easy to take them as ever.

How to screenshot iPhone

Open the app you want to screenshot and go to the exact screen you want to screenshot. (Arrange everything exactly the way you want to see it in the screenshot.)

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and then click the Home button. (This helps ensure you don't activate Touch ID or Siri by accident while trying to take your screenshot.)

The screen will flash white, you'll hear the camera shutter sound, and the screenshot will be saved to your All Photos album (or Camera Roll if you're not using iCloud Photo Library).

Open the Photos app from your Home screen.

Scroll down to the bottom to find your screenshot.

Tap to view, favorite, edit, or share it.

You can also tap the camera icon or use the edit menu in apps like Messages or Mail to insert your screenshot into texts, email, and more.

I figured this out the first week the 2.0 software and new iphone launched. At first i thought there was a glitch in the phone... FREAKED ME OUT.... I work for ATT and i finaly figured out that it did this when i was setting up the iphone for a customer. Not really sure why they put this but it sure does come in handy when you find something really cool and want to show your friends.

DAMN fun feature..took a screen shot...opened the photo...gave the iPhone to my buddy...he could not figure out why the icons were not working..he tried tapping..double tapping...index finger..thumb..nothing worked...HAHAHA...damn funny app

@RsB: not sure how your buddy didn't figure it out. When you tap on an image within the camera roll each finger tap to the screen displays and turns off the "camera roll header and footer" with the controls. Dragging the image would have moved it to the next image in line if there were one. If he double taps the image, the image will zoom. He must have not have had any experience with an iPhone before.

I get that it isn't helpful to shoot back with insults when complaining of being insulted... But Dude, you know you're being rude and obnoxious, so can you chill? I'm not coming back to read any reply, so don't bother trying to insult me, too.

Correction: Press simultaneously On/Off and 'O' buttons to snap shot the screen you're at; if you hit the On/Off first then 'O' button it would still make the screentshot, however, it would lock your phone too so no need the hassle - use the first approach :)

I knew that already but still awesome! It would be cool if you could take a video as well. Is there an app or something to do that?! I have an iPod touch 4g and I've been wondering how to do that for a while

I have the same phone as you, Jeff - try this: press the home button (but don't release it) but IMMEDIATELY after you start pressing the home button, press the Lock button. Gotta do it fast, before Siri comes on. I just tried this, worked for me first try.

The order is the other way around, press lock and hold it the press home. If you wait too long before pressing home it will bring up the lock screen. But if you do lock first my 4s consistently gives screenshots

Hi there very cool site!! Guy .. Beautiful .. Wonderful .. I'll bookmark your web site and take the feeds additionally?I am satisfied to seek out a lot of helpful info here in the submit, we want work out extra strategies on this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .

Ha, I just had to look this up because while trying to perform a hard reset of my iTouch I snapped a screenshot and was like "WTF why did my camera just go off"? Never even thought to think that there was a way people were doing those screenshots on Twitter LOL

I used to make screenshots for iPhone with my camera... this article really helps as I can work it out in more convenient way. Also, from another article I learn that you may project your iPhone screen onto your computer. In this way, you can create and manage multiple screenshots more easily on a PC (http://screenshot.net/howto-screenshot-iphone.html). Not sure if this tip will help.
